Crucible: Star Wars (Star Wars – Legends)

Book Preface

Many people contributed to this book in ways large and small. I would like to thank them all, especially the following: Andria Hayday, who is always the first person I turn to when I want to brainstorm or sharpen a draft. It would be impossible to overstate the value of her input. Leland Chee, Keith Clayton, Pablo Hidalgo, Erich Schoeneweiss, Scott Shannon, Frank Parisi, and Carol Roeder, for their thoughtful suggestions; Shelly Shapiro and Jennifer Heddle, for everything from their incredible patience to their insightful manuscript notes; Dave Eidoni, for his thoughts regarding Monoliths; Kathy Lord, for her attention to detail; my agent, Matt Bialer of Sanford J. Greenburger Associates, Inc.; all of the people at Lucasfilm and Del Rey who make writing Star Wars so much fun; and, finally, to George Lucas, for sharing the galaxy far, far away with us all
